Jun 27, 2009 physical examination
Testicular cancer is a common disease in men of a tumor, generally occurred in the 20-year-old to 40-year-old age, early detection and timely treatment, the cure rate of up to 85%, so, for men, often hand-touch testis may be early to predict the incidence of testicular cancer.
Experts to answer: How do testicular self-test?
China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital urology chief physician Guang’an Men张亚强suggested that inspection is the best in the warm water washed the genitals, the skin becomes soft and when. Touch the scrotum, if the feeling of some localized pain, pain, pain is not very powerful, testicular asymmetry, the affected volume increases, there is a sense of falling, there may be symptoms of testicular cancer. There are a small number of patients with similar clinical manifestations of acute orchitis, testicular swelling occurred in heat pain, chills the body, at this time should also be alert to go to the hospital for medical treatment immediately.
Dr. Zhang suggested that peace should be noted to prevent the occurrence of testicular trauma; attention to genital hygiene, cleaning every day; ride minimize pressure on the testis; sex life to the law to avoid sexual misconduct brought about by injury and testicular injury.
Prompted four major symptoms of testicular cancer
① testicular swelling. This is the tumor cells go to the large population of proliferative results. The shape of enlargement is not uniform, sometimes not rules, gave birth to the side of testicular tumors can be significantly enlarged exceptionally prominent.
② testicular hard. Testis, like hand-to-stone block, hard texture, which is common when testicular inflammation and swelling of the testis was uniform and soft texture, there are significant differences. Although testicular hard, but there was no pain by the touch, which is different from orchitis.
③ a heavy sense of the testis. Because testicular cancer is the formation of the massive growth of tumor cells, it is a substantial mass, growth to a certain extent, the testis weight of a surge, the patient will feel a heavy fall, and even the impact of walking. If the hand hold the testicles, as if holding a rock in general, have some sense of the weight.
④ test negative light. General hydrocele, the scrotum and testes increased light transmission, light transmission tests were positive. Testicular tumor growth and a dense solid, which no liquid, light will definitely be greatly reduced. When the above symptoms, diagnosis and treatment have to pay close attention, do not fear, to delay treatment.
Memory loss is a precursor to testicular cancer
Sterling斯洛安凯New York Cancer Center recently reported, as early as in testicular cancer have not been diagnosed before the patient will appear the phenomenon of brain injury, which include epilepsy, memory loss, dementia and so on.
沃尔兹博士pointed out that the brain is not damaged by the testicular cancer against malignant cells, but tumor arising from a protein will be a large number of intense violations caused by the body’s immune system, even if not found in testicular cancer is still blood in the patient, to find that violations of the brain emotional center of the antibody.
Voltz and the research team of 980 patients sampled, they are known in which the testicles of a patient brain limbic system and found that a specific antibody; another 10 were found with this new antibody, 6 months was diagnosed after suffering from testicular cancer.
Study Group considers that the younger, there is no other brain tumors, as well as inflammation of the brain of patients appears to further the Department of detecting such an antibody, to determine whether patients with early stage testicular cancer.
Height of testicular cancer male?
Height may be related to men suffering from testicular cancer, and the United States to a recent study found that tall men suffering from testicular cancer in high risk than others.
U.S. experts to study the eating habits, and build the relationship between testicular cancer, the results showed that ultra-tall 6-foot man, there’s the opportunity to testicular cancer is greater than 5-foot 6-inch tall man below; 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 9 Men inch high risk of suffering from this cancer is also lower than the build into a high-four. However, researchers admit that tall do not know the reasons for the opportunity to increase the risk of cancer.
